missed by the terminal. The fewer the missed beacons the
better the signal. As long as the LED to the right of the graph
is green the AP association is not jeopardized by an excess of
missed AP beacons. If the LED is Red, an association with a
different AP could be warranted to reduce the amount of
missed beacons and improve the signal.
Displays the number of data packets retransmitted by the
terminal. The fewer transmit retries the stronger the signal. As
long as the LED to the right of the graph is green the AP
association is not jeopardized. If the LED is red, an association
with a different AP could be warranted to reduce the amount of
transmit retries and improve the signal.
Displays the Relative Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) of the
signal transmitted between the AP and terminal. As long as the
LED to the right of the graph is green the AP association is not
jeopardized. If the LED is red, an association with a different
AP could be warranted to improve the signal.
Note: The Signal tab is view only and is not available if the
current operating mode is Ad Hoc.
